Choosing the Right Color for Your Roof Shingles

Getting a new roof is exciting for a lot of reasons! It’s the perfect opportunity to update the look of your home while improving its value and performance. The options are endless! However, there are a few things you’ll want to consider when picking out the style of your new roof shingles that may help you decide on the perfect color.

Color coordination

Of course, style is a factor in designing your ideal roof! A common choice for the color of a roof is to contrast it with a color that complements your home’s color palette. A tip that may help is choosing a color that is found in the brick or trim of your home. For example, a brown or neutral-colored home would look great with a mix of cream and brown for roof shingles, or, you can make a statement by using a green shade.

The best part about selecting shingles for your roof is that it’s entirely up to you! Stockmohr is proud to offer Owens Corning, who provide a Design EyeQ® Visualization Experience for homeowners to see specific colors and styles on their actual home (or a home just like it).

If keeping things traditional is not your thing, but you plan to sell your home in the future--consider a more conventional approach to the color of your roof. A bold red or green may look great to many, but a more subtle color, like brown or black, is best to attract potential buyers.
